Dear ArtConversation Visitors,
Almost daily, I learn something new about contemporary art from New York Times. Today was no exception. Art with Text is a frequent topic on the art education list serves. Lawrence Weiner was "new-to-me". Lawrence Weiner: As Far As The Eye Can See -- retrospective at the Whitney Museum of American Art consists mainly of phrases in large letters. Art Review | Lawrence Weiner The Well-Shaped Phrase as Art http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/16/ar...ts&oref=slogin Article contains a very nice slide show - good for discussing the "What is Art?" question. "Lawrence Weiner: As Far as the Eye Can See" is at the Whitney Museum of American Art, 945 Madison Avenue, at 75th Street, through Feb. 10. A bit is online: http://whitney.org/weiner/ (scroll down for menu) More on Lawrence Weiner: http://www.artcyclopedia.com/artists..._lawrence.html bio: http://www.guggenheimcollection.org/..._bio_162A.html http://www.guggenheimcollection.org/...ks_162A_0.html more: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...=Google+Search Lots of Images: http://images.google.com/images?q=La...mages&ct=title ------------------------------------------------- More from New York Times http://www.nytimes.com/pages/arts/design/index.html Art Review Pacific Overtures From Mystic Spirits By KEN JOHNSON http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/16/ar...tml?ref=design Good slide show of Oceanic and Native American Art.
